Until a few weeks ago, my phpbb3 forum under version 3.2.7 was working fine, until I got a notice that new users could not register. Upon checking, I saw that indeed after doing the registration process, I was getting a "504 Gateway Time-out". I tried repairing and optimizing the table, changing the PHP version, uploading the files from a fresh install, and finally installing on a totally different test server. Nothing worked.
Put to the test, I decided to update the forum to the latest version 3.3.12. I followed all the instructions, new files, updating the database, etc. Everything Perfect! Except the user registration still doesn't work and keeps giving the same error!
From the tests I've done, I've ruled out that it's a server problem (I've tried two different ones on different hostings), files (I've updated the entire forum), PHP version (I've tried several), database (I've optimized it and repaired multiple times to no avail) or extensions (tried uninstalling them all).
I checked that the user IS CREATED in the database correctly before giving the error.
I also found that the phpbb3_qa_confirm table was a monstrous 4GB in size, much larger than all the other tables in the forum combined. I deleted all logs but that didn't help either.
What else can I try? I don't know what else to do.
